next gen 3d video cards and pci

[romstar]

i know there are currently very few good pci 3d cards voodoo5 and a few gforce2 mx cards... there is a ati radeon pci card but has not yet been realesed.. my question is should i pick up a good pci card now or wait and see the next generation of 3d cards and hope for a pci version??? is pci dead or is there hope???

Pretty long odds is my guess.

so i should assume that non of the 3d companies have announced any pci support at all in up comming products... but for now whcih card the v5 or an mx pci.. keep in mind the mx is cheaper by 1/3 and will continue to be supported and the v5 is expensive still and may not be supported in the future.... so mx or v5??

PLEASE go with mx, not a 3dfx product. You're commiting suicide if you go that route (They're dead!)

I seriously doubt that any of the next generation video cards will be PCI. 3dfx's V5 5500 is currently the best PCI video card available and it will likely stay that way for good. The problem is that with no future support it's hard to justify purchasing it.

It's a coin flip between ATi and nVidia.

the ati radaon pci is still not avalible but the mx pci is and it seems to be the best choice but it is very hard to find a pci version here in canada if you guys know any stores in canada or online that carry the pci mx cards help me please.. i am probably going to go for the leadteck winfast
